In a recent meeting held in Geneva, the FIA, the global authority overseeing motorsports, made a substantial adjustment to the maximum fines imposed in Formula 1, causing concern among drivers. Going forward, the FIA has resolved to impose fines of up to one million euros for severe rule infractions on the racetrack, a significant increase from the previous maximum fine of 250,000 euros.

A circle of prominent drivers were first confronted with the rule change on Thursday at a press conference ahead of the U.S. Grand Prix in Austin, Texas (21:00 CEST in the live ticker).

"It's a lot of money. I have no idea what justifies a penalty of one million euros," said Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc.

For Haas driver Kevin Magnussen, the news sounded "ridiculous."

Veteran Daniel Ricciardo (AlphaTauri) even called it "scary."

HAMILTON: FINES TO BE USED FOR GOOD CAUSE

Record world champion Lew is Hamilton, meanwhile, made the case for a targeted use of the money collected.

"This is the first I've heard of it. If they're asking for a million euros, we should make sure it goes to a good cause. There's a lot of money in this business and we can make a big difference," said the Mercedes star.

The FIA defended its decision to modify the maximum penalty by highlighting that it had remained unchanged for the past twelve years, which did not align with the current requirements of the motorsport industry.
